special is that the water is saline even at this height
also the concluding part of film 3idiots was shot here
no fish or other aquatic life in this lake
The lake is in the process of being identified under the Ramsar Convention as a wetland of international importance. This will be the first trans-boundary wetland in South Asia under the convention
